" err sorry to be pedantic (no I'm not) but they (the mods) are neither of these things:
a) they don't get paid so they can't be "professional"

enable handling any assigned responsibilities in a professional manner?
b) since when did "objectivity and impartiality" come into into forum moderation...
*** Do you imply that Russ & Chris would ever tolerate 'subjectivity' and partiality'?
Have you been watching "Bobby in Wonderland" again?
Edit: they are quite strict though..."

I don't understand what you are on about; as usual.
*** 'Two wrongs don't make a right' = a simple and commonplace truism based premise.
'... but that maybe three or four do?' = tongue in cheek antecedent reference to your casual
dismissal of the historic presence of RHP forum moderation "objectivity and impartiality".

Well done! There's no harm in asking the meaning of a word that you don't understand.
Merit is synonymous (which means it has the same meaning) with words like worth or value or distinction.
Happy to help.
